Enhanced tracking that keeps your movements private, and your vessel in view
MariTrace delivers reliable AIS tracking with the option to add Mercury for discreet, encrypted updates when you need privacy. Together, they give you the oversight to verify position, protect guest confidentiality, and share movement data on your terms.
AIS tells part of the story. MariTrace fills in the rest.
Yacht oversight comes with high expectations. Privacy is paramount. Guests don’t want to be tracked, and insurers still want proof. Traditional AIS has limits — but but your team still has to answer the same questions:
“What’s the security or privacy risk along our route?”
“Can we confirm location without bothering the bridge?”
“Do we have movement logs that my insurer and security services accept and trust?”
Log activity. Share what matters. Keep the rest confidential.
MariTrace automatically records vessel positions, port calls, and route history. You decide what gets shared and when — using secure AIS vessel tracking data to meet the needs of insurers, auditors, or partners without exposing more than necessary.
Track discreetly — even in blind zones
Our onboard Mercury device delivers private, real-time location data when AIS isn’t broadcasting due to interference, policy, or intentional shutdown. Only approved users can view this data.
Built for the realities of private ownership and luxury operations.
MariTrace gives captains, yacht managers, and family offices the tools to track confidently — with AIS for day-to-day visibility and Mercury for moments when discretion takes priority.
See more with less friction.
From single-ship updates to full fleet reports, the MariTrace platform keeps data accessible without clutter or delay. Most users master the system within days.
Stay ahead of risks, both real and reputational
Live overlays highlight high-risk zones, sensitive geopolitical waters, and severe weather — helping you adjust routes, safeguard guests, and avoid unwanted attention.
AIS has fallen silent, but you need to verify your yacht's current location.
MariTrace and Mercury ensure peace of mind for you and your guests — discreetly and in real time.
The moments Maritrace was built for.
You’re en route to Palma, and the AIS is not broadcasting…
You still need to know exactly where the vessel is. With Mercury, you can monitor its position discreetly — without relying on AIS alone.
An underwriter calls. They need to know if the vessel breached a sanctions zone…
Instead of scrambling, you pull the route history. The vessel skirted the edge, logged each port call, and you share what the insurer needs — nothing more.
Owner requests a location update without alerting others…
You open MariTrace. Mercury shows the vessel’s position in real time, letting you share it securely with the owner — without broadcasting the location publicly.
Weather shifts. A vessel needs rerouting…
You pull up MariTrace. Wind forecasts, zone alerts, and vessel locations are visible at a glance — so you can adjust course proactively.
